Today Is Leap Day

What is leap day exactly? Temple math professor Yury Grabovsky says Leap Day exists because it actually takes about 365 and a quarter days for the earth to revolve around the sun. "After four years, you get a day error, after 40 years, you get 10 days error. So as you can see, the error adds up over time." He says Leap Day helps to correct the error and ensures that the seasons start when expected.

Help With Homework, Hurt Your Child

How much should parents help with their children’s homework? Temple psychology professor, Laurence Steinberg, author of "The Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting" said, "I think the research is pretty clear that parents should not help with homework unless the child (1) asks for something specific that is beyond the child's capability, (2) does not understand the homework assignment, or (3) the teacher has explicitly developed an assignment to have the parent and child work together."

Why the value of diversity in the workplace adds up to nearly six figures

Retailers can boost earnings by as much as $100,000 by employing a racially diverse roster that mirrors its customer base according to a new study, led by Temple Fox School of Business Associate Professor Derek Avery. "In some ways the whole thing was sort of surprising," Avery said. "Even though the finding is somewhat intuitive based on social-psychological principles — similarity has got to sell."
